Arsenal have the chance to increase their lead at the top of the Premier League table this weekend as they head to struggling Everton.
Mikel Arteta returns to his old stomping ground looking to put more distance between his side and defending champions Manchester City in the title race — and, in turn, deepen Everton’s relegation fears.
However, despite their poor form, the arrival of Sean Dyche as Frank Lampard’s replacement has triggered at least some optimism of a potential great escape at Goodison Park this season.

120 mins to kickoff: Hello and welcome to The Sporting News’ coverage of Arsenal’s return to Premier League action following their FA Cup exit and Everton’s first match under new head coach Sean Dyche!
The Gunners performed respectably in that fourth-round defeat at title rivals Manchester City and now face opponents who should be a tougher proposition than they were before Dyche was appointed at the start of the week.
Everton are seeking to avoid a fifth consecutive home defeat in the Premier League, having lost 2-1 to Southampton at Goodison Park before their 2-0 defeat at West Ham United in Frank Lampard’s final match in charge.
Everton vs Arsenal projected lineups
Dyche has confirmed no changes on the injury front for Everton, and the former Burnley boss is unlikely to make sweeping changes just yet as he looks to build a plan for Premier League survival.
Everton starting XI (4-5-1): Pickford (GK) — Coleman, Coady, Tarkowski, Mykolenko — Gray, Iwobi, Gueye, Onana, McNeil — Calvert-Lewin
Everton subs: Begovic (GK), Holgate, Mina, Davies, Doucoure, Vinagre, Maupay, Simms, Price
Arteta will be without Egypt international Mohamed Elneny following the club’s decision to send him for knee surgery, with Gabriel Jesus and Reiss Nelson both still out.
Thomas Partey is rated at 50/50 to start by Arteta, with deadline-day signing Jorginho set to replace him for his Gunners debut.
Arsenal starting XI (4-3-3): Ramsdale (GK) — White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko — Odegaard, Jorginho, Xhaka — Saka, Nketiah, Martinelli
Arsenal subs: Turner (GK), Tomiyasu, Kiwior, Holding, Tierney, Vieira, Trossard, Smith-Rowe, Hein
